| Sumario: | Abstract: The purpose of this chapter is to carry out a comparative analysis of
labour markets in Europe and Latin America from the perspective of segmentation
in order to explain the processes of social inequality that arise in the workplace, in
light of recent trends in global socio-economic changes. The chapter proposes two
main objectives. The first is to perform a comparative descriptive analysis of the
main features of labour markets among 60 European and Latin American countries.
The second objective is to propose a model of comparative analysis of labour
inequality from the theoretical perspective of the segmentation of the labour market
and structural heterogeneity. We will focus our analysis by selecting two countries,
Spain and Argentina, which both underwent a late development of capitalism. The
following general hypothesis is formulated: Spain and Argentina, having clearly
differentiated features in economic structure, level of development, institutional
frameworks and socio-historical processes, show common dynamics in the structuring
of the capitalist labour market between a primary and secondary segment. Using
equivalent databases on the workforce a typology of segmentation of employment
is constructed that show, in addition to the specificities of each country, the similarities
in the structuring of the labour market. |
